Mekong cycling trip: Saigon to Ha Tien

After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, board a private boat and cruise to the Cai Rang Floating Market, one of the busiest and most vibrant markets in the Mekong Delta. After exploring the market, hop on your bike and ride through the backwaters of Phong Dien, following winding rivers and passing through lush fruit orchards en route to Thoi Lai.

Enjoy a lunch break here, with time to relax in a hammock at a local café before continuing along small paths through the vast vegetable farms and rice fields lining the farming canals toward Giong Rieng. From there, take a shuttle transfer to Rach Gia, check in to your hotel, and unwind by the pool. In the evening, enjoy dinner with your guide.

The distance from Rach Gia to Ha Tien is not very far, but some sections are now being developed with many highways. As a result, certain routes are cut off, and the best route for today’s ride needs to be carefully selected.

After a leisurely breakfast, we take a comfortable shuttle through the Mekong Delta rice basket toward Kien Luong. After about 1.5 hours from Rach Gia, we hop back on our bikes in small villages. We start with a few kilometers on a quiet paved road along canals, then continue onto narrow paths, riding toward the karst mountains. Along the way, we cycle through Khmer villages, cross rice paddies, and head toward fishing villages, enjoying views of the karst landscape.

Along the Mekong coastline, we take in views of colorful fishing villages and charming pagodas of both Vietnamese and Khmer communities. We then continue along gently rolling terrain toward the karst mountains, stopping at pagodas before enjoying a coffee break by the beach. We also visit a beautiful pagoda in the Hon Phu Tu area of Kien Luong. The morning ride covers approximately 24 km.

We have a local lunch here before resuming our ride toward Mo So Cave. Following the coastline, we turn onto dirt trails through beautiful farmland, cycling over rolling hills, crossing canals, and riding along smooth paths through rice paddies en route to Mo So Cave. After the visit, we transfer to Ha Tien in the late afternoon. The tour ends.
